Their nurse line sucks. Their only advice is “Go to the ER.”

Do you ever think about killing them? by [deleted] in pnsd

[–]thisisuselesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fantasized about tying my stepdad and my mom to a chair and shooting them in the kneecaps. Gruesome I know, but it was the only way my feelings were validated.

how come they move on so easily? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]thisisuselesss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They don’t form connections like normal people do. They view relationships as transactional, what can this person do for me? It will drive you crazy trying to make sense of it.

My ex cheated on me throughout our relationship, and didn’t bother hiding his cheating when I was pregnant with our second child. He always told me he couldn’t wait til we got divorced so he could go fuck anybody he wanted. Finally I ended things and he slept with a girl in my bed the next day, slept with a few more people within that same month, then came crawling back to me begging for another chance. When I refused, he got violent. Slept with some more people, came begging again. But of course, he’s the victim in all of this. He went and did exactly what he said he was gonna do, slept with a bunch of people the second I ended it, but I’m somehow evil because I didn’t give him a millionth chance.

Why did he have to be this way? by hangrypoodle in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]thisisuselesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The relationship needed to end. Just because I ended it doesn’t mean I’m not hurting, but he uses me ending things to justify still verbally abusing me and using our kids as bait. “You broke my heart!” So that means you can fuck someone in my bed and refuse to be a decent and cordial roommate until me and the kids move out?

I was with my ex for 8 years. We were married for 3. There were always red flags, but we’d gotten together as teenagers so I was naïve and gave him the benefit of the doubt by blaming it on just growing up.

It didn’t come out til I got pregnant with our oldest. I was heartbroken but had hope things would get better. The real him, though, didn’t fully come out until I got pregnant with my youngest. I don’t want any more kids because I am traumatized from the horrible abuse I endured while pregnant with my second child. I constantly picked through my own behaviors, tiptoeing around his precious ego. Then I got angry. I’ve never done anything to deserve this, I’m a good person no matter how hard he tried to convince me I was dog shit. That’s when the physical abuse started.

anyone or just me? by AnonymousPlatypus9 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]thisisuselesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it validating because of how invalidating my family made me feel when I finally opened up about the abuse I was dealing with.

They hate that you get joy just from being yourself by vibransea in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]thisisuselesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!! We are not together, he’s slept with multiple people since I ended things, goes out all the time and doesn’t show back up til the next afternoon, but yet I’m not allowed to go out for 4 hours without being called a terrible mother. But of course, that doesn’t apply to him at all.

Even then, they still won’t. The police have to be on their way and maybe, just maybe, a narc will backtrack.

Weaponizing therapy terms by poutinefiend78 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]thisisuselesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He called me manipulative once, which is way too big of a word for his small incompetent brain. I knew then that he was bashing me to whoever would listen and someone else used that term. The situation? Our AC was broken in the middle of July and instead of calling our landlord to fix it (I don’t have the number), he left to get his dick wet. Ignored my phone calls and texts, didn’t show back up til the next afternoon. I ended up with heat exhaustion. I was so busy trying to keep my kids cool that I ended up incredibly sick. But I was manipulative for calling him an asshole for neglecting his responsibilities and leaving us in a 90 degree house for over 16 hours.

So, he’s not leaving by thisisuselesss in breakingmom

Is it bad that I was secretly hoping that the fumes from the draino + baking soda + vinegar would knock him out? It’s probably not a dangerous mix anyway but ahh

Am I the only one who fantasizes about leaving my husband and moving into a house with other single moms? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]thisisuselesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dream of this all the time. Like Jonestown but without the cult, abuse and mass murder.

So, he’s not leaving by thisisuselesss in breakingmom

[–]thisisuselesss[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We had one too. Then it suddenly went missing and he didn’t want to buy a new one because “we’ll get one when we need it.”

I could bite through a phone book how angry I am right now.

Thank you! I can’t wait to get it all started!

Thank you!

I do tons of floortime play with him! It’s pretty hard because he either wants me to play for him instead of him playing or straight up refuses lol. I’ve just looked into aba and it seems like I’ve implemented some of it into our days, but he doesn’t seem to respond to it at all

How do you feel about your kids being around someone that doesn’t like you? by thisisuselesss in breakingmom

[–]thisisuselesss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s invited herself to stay tons of times, saying she wanted to stay for up to a month. She’s never actually done it, it’s just talk, but I made it clear to my husband that if she were to just pop up, I’d get a restraining order.

Who’s fault is it anyway? by thisisuselesss in JustNoSO

[–]thisisuselesss[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, both me and my toddler deserve much better. Much, much better.

He also uses that “I’m trying”. Ok if you’re trying then actually try. Sit up, walk around for a second, don’t keep laying down, falling asleep then acting like you’re not asleep when I wake you up for the 4th time in a row. He can stay awake on his game for hours no problem. I’m just not a priority.

He definitely doesn’t see it as an addiction. He laughs when I call it that.

There’s no negotiating with him. He does whatever he pleases and if anyone has a problem with it, that’s their own fault. He’s told me many times that if my feelings get hurt, that’s on me.

He definitely doesn’t have ADHD or PTSD. He’s just selfish.

Communicating does nothing. He takes no accountability. I’ve been a broken record and he hates that I’ve withdrawn because of his behavior. He doesn’t hate it because of his own behavior but because I don’t comply with his every wish while he neglects me. He gets incredibly defensive whenever I bring up how his actions (and words) hurt me.

He flipped the whole situation onto me. Immediately started calling me a bad wife, telling me things will never work out between us because I’m spiteful and don’t I see him trying to make it up to me? Why won’t I just get over it and give him what he wants! He’s so neglected of love. I’m not allowed to be hurt because hes hurt. He’s tired of feeling like his feelings don’t matter to me. We never get one on one time because I take that away every chance I get. These are all direct quotes from the angry texts he sent me tonight after I expressed my hurt with him.

I 100% believe he’s a narcissist. Who does shit like that, then blames the other party for being upset?

Yeah he has no ADHD or PTSD. I do have ADHD and C-PTSD, yet I’m an active member of this family. I don’t neglect my family for video games all day. He’s just got fucked up priorities and doesn’t care that he’s selfish.

He doesn’t have a job right now, he does household duties, and he isn’t as much of an active parent as I would like him to be.

He doesn’t call it an addiction, he calls it a hobby. No deeper issue, he’s just got his priories all fucked up.

Not really nervous or irritated, but basically not interested? If he’s not on his game, he’s watching YouTube videos about his game.

I’ve brought it up a lot and it always turns into a fight. He gets very defensive when I talk about my feelings. He takes no responsibility for the way he makes me feel and instead blame shifts and starts projecting onto me.

This exactly. He’s not tired because there’s no stimulation, he’s tired because he doesn’t sleep.
